# Steps:
01 -
In a small bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla on high speed for 1 minute. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Use a 1/2 tablespoon measurement to scoop cheesecake dollops, and freeze for at least 30 minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Use a food processor to prepare the Oreo pieces and crumbs, and set everything aside.

Using a mixer, beat the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together on high speed for 2 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, and mix on medium speed until fully combined.

Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Fold in the Oreo pieces and Oreo crumbs until evenly distributed.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Let the cookie dough rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Using a 2 oz (2 tablespoons) cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough. Press a hole into the center of each dough ball with your thumb, place a frozen cheesecake dollop into the hole, and seal it with the dough. Place 6 dough balls on each cookie sheet.

Bake one cookie sheet at a time for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies rest on the hot pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
